[QUOTE="Fyrtwuck, post: 3211163, member: 23"] I’m overweight. Anyone that’s ever met me knows that. I was full time FD and worked PD at another city on my days off. I did what I had to do to pay the bills and it’s time consuming to go from one job to another. Eating on the run in emergency services is most times a necessity. Not the best food, but sometimes there is little time to stop and eat a proper meal. There were times at the FD the we would walk into the station at 0700 and had to go on back to back calls and didn’t get back till 0700 the next morning with no break between. Eight to twelve hour shifts at the PD driving from one call to the next. There were several times I had to work double or triple shifts cause the PD I worked for was short handed. I never complained about the jobs because I liked staying busy and helping people, but it does take a toll on the body. I’ve tried several different methods of losing weight. Diets, workouts, bike riding, gym. Nothing seems to work. My gym visits were depressing. No help or guidance to be had, no workout buddies, whispers, looks, pointed fingers and disparaging remarks from the gym rats don’t make gyms a place you like to return to. Other people in your profession who point fingers and look down upon you because you don’t meet their standards of what you should look like in a uniform. Try to be supporting and encouraging instead of condemning. [/QUOTE]
